Chapter 1280:

Leo paused briefly before giving a nod. After all, back when Jake had been under the misinterpretation that Kallie aimed for his life, he had, at one point, entertained the idea of keeping Kallie by his side. At that time, Jake had been a shadow of himself, teetering on the edge of madness. Thus, the possibility that Kallie’s disappearance was Jake’s doing wasn’t far-fetched.

Leo’s tone softened as he advised, “Mr. Reeves, you’re my boss, of course, I want to support you. More than that, I truly hope to see you and Mrs. Reeves reconcile and find your way back to each other. But… you can’t force love.”

Jake’s glare deepened, and the intensity made Leo shiver. Still, Leo braced himself and continued, “What I mean is maybe we should try talking to Mrs. Reeves.”

Already weighed down by Kallie’s disappearance, Jake felt his frustration building up at Leo’s words. He took a deep breath, clenching his teeth as he explained, “I didn’t hide Kallie. Yes, I once entertained the idea of keeping her by my side forcefully, but not long after, I dropped the idea after thinking it through.”
